Zendesk API Legacy Custom Objects API removal

Stopped workingSubscribe to Zendesk APIShare

On July 1, 2026, Zendesk removed legacy custom objects. Calls to /api/sunshine/objects/* fail since that date. Zendesk API previously stopped allowing developers to create new legacy custom objects or relationships starting January 15, 2026, and has now fully retired the legacy endpoints.


Calls it hits

  • /api/sunshine/objects/*

What to use instead of these calls

Migrate to the custom objects API (/api/v2/custom_objects/*). Moving to the new custom objects means migrating the account's object types and records.

Moving to the new custom objects means migrating the account's object types and records.

In Zendesk API's words

Starting January 15, 2026, you will no longer be able to create new legacy custom objects or relationships. Zendesk will fully remove legacy custom objects in July 2026.
